Chords for this accoustic version:
[Verse]
DWhen I go home I will walk via Tinseltown
BmDown LED avenues, jingle bells all around
AWhere they pluck all the stars from out the sky
GAnd they hang them from rafters up on high
DI wished away the last year, it was the worst of times
BmAudition for ass end of horse in village pantomime
AJust to hear your voice calling from the back
G“it’s behind you!” oh yeh thank God for that
[Chorus]
D5Christmas Eve, torrential rain
B5One single snowflake on this plain
A5I held you in gloved hands
B5And I’m not letting A5go
B5I’m not letting goA5  
DNew Year to November
BmIt’s looming near, it lingers Aclose
AInto December
GWhen Christmas comes, what’s lurking goes
[Verse]
DSaved hard all Winter to ensure your stocking’s full
BmJoined the choir, took myself door to door
AMaking small change with all the carollers
GEvery mention of His name changed to yours
DA dream of you stood naked as Christmas tree
BmLeft unattended ’til second week of February
AIn the morning, you’re lying next to me
GCovered in gold, stole from nativity
[Chorus]
D5Christmas Eve, torrential rain
B5One single snowflake on this plain
A5I held you in gloved hands
B5And I’m not letting A5go
B5I’m not letting goA5

BmIt’s looming near, it lingers Aclose
AInto December
GWhen Christmas comes, what’s lurking goes

Chords for this accoustic version:

[Verse]

When I go home I will walk via Tinseltown

Down LED avenues, jingle bells all around

Where they pluck all the stars from out the sky

And they hang them from rafters up on high

I wished away the last year, it was the worst of times

Audition for ass end of horse in village pantomime

Just to hear your voice calling from the back

“it’s behind you!” oh yeh thank God for that

[Chorus]

Christmas Eve, torrential rain

One single snowflake on this plain

I held you in gloved hands

B5 A5

And I’m not letting go

B5 A5

I’m not letting go

New Year to November

Bm A

It’s looming near, it lingers close

Into December

When Christmas comes, what’s lurking goes

[Verse]

Saved hard all Winter to ensure your stocking’s full

Joined the choir, took myself door to door

Making small change with all the carollers

Every mention of His name changed to yours

A dream of you stood naked as Christmas tree

Left unattended ’til second week of February

In the morning, you’re lying next to me

Covered in gold, stole from nativity

[Chorus]

Christmas Eve, torrential rain

One single snowflake on this plain

I held you in gloved hands

B5 A5

And I’m not letting go

B5 A5

I’m not letting go

New Year to November

Bm A

It’s looming near, it lingers close

Into December

When Christmas comes, what’s lurking goes

[Outro]

Can you hear it?

Let the bells chime!

Lift your glasses high

For the Boy Child!

Can you hear it?

Let the bells chime!

Lift your glasses high

For the Boy Child!
